Yesterday Hazzan qualified for the World Championship Final which will held in early December in Berlin, Germany. In winning the World Series Asia Pacific contest he joined an elite group of overclockers that includes other World Series winners; marc_0053 (N.America), PXHX(Latin America), DrWeez (S.Africa), Bullshooter (Europe) and Xtreme Addict (Asia). One thing that you may noticed is that we now have a total of seven overclockers, an uneven number that would make a pretty lop-sided contest. Today we can reveal that in fact there will be an eighth ‘Wild Card’ ticket on offer and it will go to the winner of the World Championship Wild Card Contest.

I really doubt power cards will be necessary or even useful on 460s(seriously Sapphire's Nitro has at least 140A available to the core). Most of the cards have plenty of power available as is and really the only thing you might want to do to upgrade the VRM is add some capacitors. Vmem should also be easy enough to mod since all the cards use those really basic 8pin controllers for it. AUX is hooked up to the NCP81022. .95V should be present on the cards however I haven't been able to find it in any pictures of RX 460 PCBs. Either way .95V isn't too important you will just end up benching with a blackscreen if you can't mod it.

Biggest problem I can see is cold slow.

since we only need i3 I might have a 6320 you could borrow for contest, isnt great does like 6.1ghz ln2 but at least you could get in
